Thread necro!

Any chance this might return?

It's crazy how close you were to exactly one year since I made my post on this. I was Sep 19 2024 at 17:45 and you were Sep 19 2025 at 18:40!

That's pretty funny. In the meantime, I made a thing this morning for those living in an analog world.

(Arch)Mage Power Cheat Sheet

It's not fancy; just tells you quickly what each does and you can check it off for each combat. I plan on doing a 2nd page where you can do combos and write your damage for your build.

This is awesome. Thanks!

I'm glad you like it!

I'm pretty sure the formulas are right for adding in the MEC to the different spell damages. My test plays on TD Character Creator agreed with my math.

Maggie,
Cool cheat sheet! It looks great!

One thing I do in VTD that you may find useful: To speed casting under time pressure, before the run I print out a standard sequence (including when I use the most common Ashenne powers) that works 95% of the time. Then on the run I cross off each line as I execute.

This is my Elf’s current list for non-boss fights:
Enter any room: Cast Alertness (Staff of Power), then prepare the casting sequence Magic Missile (from Ring of Expertise) and Quickened Magic Missile.
Round 1: Execute casting sequence and then clear it.
Round 2: Cast Conserved Fireball with any situation-appropriate modifications
Rounds 3+: Cast the next level 0 attack spell.
When I take damage: Use Absorb if it’s the room’s first 20+ HP damage, otherwise soak with DR.

A few notes:
- I start with Magic Missile because it hits most creatures (especially incorporeals), letting me prepare twin blasts without holding up the party by starting after the Lore check finishes.
- I use the Charm of Spell Swapping to turn Bull’s Strength and Invisibility into my 4th and 5th room Magic Missiles.
- Yes, I cast Alertness even in puzzle rooms. If you were really in a dungeon, wouldn’t you?

This is good stuff, thanks!

Someday. I keep it updated for personal use and sideload it. its just keeping it in the stores is a pain in the butt that I need to automate updates and its just super low on the priorities list right now. I'll probably merge it into TD Companion at some point.
